Israel and World War III part four
So now the dynamic in the conflict is starting to evolve a bit, and while it still may, doesn't look like it's going to lead to a broader war.
I'm left assessing the situation thinking, could Israel have done anything more to exacerbate the problems of the region?
Their stated plan is failing, Hezbolla has proved their ability to survive and the suffering they have inflicted is causing more terrorist sympathy among the moderate affected population.
The US being the only nation to back Israel has suffered more negativity on the Muslim street...with nothing to show for it.
In fact, the real problems are being delayed...which could be by design.
Israel certainly has a right to defend her citizens...but given that we now see how unrealistic the objective really was...and the damage it's caused...
Do the people who thought this was a good thing maintain their position?
